Myosin light chain isoform 1 (MLC1) is reported to be a novel allergen in crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). However, little information is available about its allergic epitopes. In this study, recombinant crayfish MLC1 (rMLC1) was expressed and confirmed by mass spectrometry. Circular dichroic analysis and serological test were performed for the measuring of structural and immunological properties of rMLC1. Specific-protein-A-enriched IgG raised in rabbits against purified rMLC1 was used to screen a phage display random peptide library. Nine MLC1 mimotope clones were identified among 16 random clones after biopanning. Five conformational epitopes were identified with the program LocaPep, and mapped into 3 epitope regions at the antibody-binding interface of MLC1. MLC1 of crayfish showed high primary and secondary structure identity to MLC of other allergenic species, its epitopes were located in the structure conserved regions, and its cross-reactivity among related species was indicated by immunological assays.

Many cancer cells exhibit increased amounts of paucimannose glycans, which are truncated N-glycan structures rarely found in mammals. Paucimannosidic proteins are proposedly generated within lysosomes and exposed on the cell surface through a yet uncertain mechanism. In this study, we revealed that paucimannosidic proteins are produced by lysosomal glycosidases and secreted via lysosomal exocytosis.

Aims: In light of recent advances in imaging techniques, molecular understanding and therapeutic options in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), we performed a systematic review of current guidelines for the diagnosis and management of HCM in order to identify consensus and discrepant areas in the clinical practice guidelines.
Methods And Results: We systematically reviewed the English language guidelines and recommendations for the management of HCM in adults. MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for guidelines published in the last 10 years.
Hibernating brown bears, due to a drastic reduction in metabolic rate, show only moderate muscle wasting. Here, we evaluate if ATPase activity of resting skeletal muscle myosin can contribute to this energy sparing. By analyzing single muscle fibers taken from the same bears, either during hibernation or in summer, we find that fibers from hibernating bears have a mild decline in force production and a significant reduction in ATPase activity.

Background & Aims: Dilated intercellular space (DIS) in esophageal epithelium, a sign of impaired barrier function, is a characteristic finding of GERD that also is found in obese patients without GERD. We have explored molecular mechanisms whereby adipose tissue products might impair esophageal barrier integrity.
Methods: We established cultures of visceral fat obtained during foregut surgery from obese and non-obese patients.
